Orthodox Quote for January 18
“Like those Pharisees who appealed to Abraham as their biological ancestor and therefore sought to justify themselves, so also do “we love to glorify the saints, but we do not want to emulate them,” says St. Seraphim of Sarov. Even if we cannot imitate their lives, we can strive to imitate their virtues.”
(Homily at the Hermitage of the Holy Cross in WV)
